The good news is that it looks like my house in Felton, in the Santa Cruz
mountains will be spared from the fire. 

The bad news: My friend Pete who races the ZomBee MGB in LeMons wrote a
heartbreaking story about nearly saving his house, and just barely escaping.

The funny:  We started packing when we went on evacuation warning, we didn't
wait until mandatory evacuation. When Dick and Rochelle Nyquist (who I first
met through the SOL list 30 years ago) barely escaped from a fire a few
years back, that was a real wake up call. I already had a mental checklist
of most of the high priority stuff to pack into my van.  When the van was
full, we still hadn't gotten the mandatory evac notice, so I started packing
the trailer.  I've been storing Jasmine, my BGT, in the trailer.  I don't
have the resources to finish getting her back on the road, and I need the
garage for other work.  Unloading the MG from the trailer would have taken
more time than I felt I had, so I grabbed the blower, and a couple of other
key pieces, put them in the passenger seat and just packed around her. 

A friend in Santa Cruz is letting me store the car at his place, so now I
even have room in the trailer and have cleared out most of the stuff from
our other cars.
